Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1170667A1] A software package verification tool (64) enables verifying a software package that includes at least one software component. The tool includes at least one test module (70) defining a test of at least one parameter of a software component of the package (72). It also includes a control module (66) operable to access a framework (68) that identifies each test module (70) and to cause at least one test module (70) to perform the test defined thereby for verifying the package (72). The framework (68), within which individual test modules (68) may be added or deleted as required, provides a flexible test structure for software packages. Typically, the framework (68) identifies a plurality of test modules (70) for verifying the correctness of a particular software package (72). In such a case, the framework (68) can identify a priority for each test module for effecting an ordering of the tests. This enables the performance of the tests to be efficient, avoiding, for example, unnecessary tests that are refundant if the software package fails a more fundamental test. <IMAGE>
